Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• Gabriel deserves thanks for pressing on with a number of difficult problems! Especially as people have asked some testing questions lately, I want to send some kudos.
• Thanks to Tania for thinking ahead on this work and where it could go in the future!
• Stephannie gets my thanks for powering through theming obstacles!

Updates from last week ✔️

• Curate JupyterLab themes #133 preparing for the next decision making step. I'm trying to figure out what I need to get this in a vote-able state.
• accessible-pygments blog post is updated and maybe ready to go? I'm not sure if Stephannie has an addition.
• Space Telescope check in was this week, so there are notes and some repo custodial work I posted as I am ramping up to the second round of user testing. This is more for your awareness than anything else.

• I'm okay.

My availability for next week

• I'll be here all week.

Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• Thanks to Tania for finding and sharing great resources
• Thanks to Isabela for responding to my questions
• Thanks to Isabela for her thank-yous 😉

Updates from last week ✔️

Add tasks to this repo:

• Focus not always visible on JupyterLab initial page #167
• Submit proposal for JupyterCon 2023 #170
• Tab trap in JupyterLab notebook code cell #168
• Tab trap in JupyterLab terminal #169

I'm working on #167 but this week has been a bit slow. I still can't figure out why the body element receives focus on tab. I messaged the JupyterLab channel on Gitter, but so far no response.

I also gave Kulsoom's blog post another round of review. It's almost done!

Challenges I faced and things I'd like assistance with 🙏

• Making GitHub actions do what I want

My availability for next week

• I'll be here
